hy-fcell 2025 really taking off – in partnership with Siemens
New partnership, strong content, top-quality conference: The international hydrogen exhibition is returning to Stuttgart again in October
Hydrogen and fuel cell technology is experiencing dynamic growth – and hy-fcell 2025 is once again setting the standards. From 7 to 8 October 2025, international decision-makers from the worlds of industry, politics and research will be meeting in Stuttgart to present their latest innovative solutions for sustainable change in the energy and mobility sectors. Following strong growth in 2024 – with 189 exhibiting companies (+10%) and more than 3,000 participants from 35 countries – the 2025 event will once again be setting the course, further establishing its role as a leading platform for hydrogen solutions with international reach.
Siemens taking up role as hosting partner: Together for a green future
The event has further strengthened its appeal with the acquisition of Siemens as a new hosting partner.
Explains Robert Atkinson, Lead Hydrogen at Siemens AG, Factory Automation. Guido von Vacano, Executive Vice President at Messe Stuttgart, also emphasised the importance of this partnership:
Hydrogen is key to a climate-neutral industry – and we want to play an active role in shaping this future.
The partnership perfectly represents the close collaboration between industry and event formats – practical, relevant and focused on the future,
The hy-fcell event brings together the right people and the best technology to make this happen.
“With Siemens, we have an innovative partner at our side who promotes this industry – in terms of technology, business and global networking. Together, we are setting a clear signal for the future of the hydrogen economy and our location here in Stuttgart.”
Key topics of 2025: Innovation, Production and European Strength
The hy-fcell 2025 event will explore key industry developments and is organised according to specific themed areas. The spotlight will be on four central topics at hy-fcell 2025:
- Nationwide networking – the strength of Southwest Germany: Baden-Württemberg as a strong innovative location between mobility, component manufacture and infrastructure.
- Spotlight on production technology: from single high-precision parts to automated final assembly – technology for the series production of fuel cells and electrolysers.
- Hydrogen mobility by all transport means: road, rail or air – the practical application of sustainable mobility solutions.
- All eyes on Europe: hy-fcell instigating change within the single European market and driving the green transformation.
